The result of the bantamweight (up to 61,2 kg) title fight in the co-main event of the UFC 316, between Julianna Pena e Kayla harrison this Saturday (7), may result in the long-awaited return of Amanda nunes to the octagon. At least that's what businessman Ali Abdelaziz, responsible for managing the challenger's career, is planning.
In an interview with the North American website 'MMA Junkie' Abdelaziz revealed that he plans to Kayla harrison challenge Amanda nunes after eventual victory over Julianna Pena No. UFC 316 and face the 'Lioness' in two weight classes.

“That’s what I want her to do. That’s the map: I want Kayla to win the belt on Saturday and Amanda nunes “Come back. We’re going to fight for the featherweight belt. Kayla is going to beat her at 66 pounds. Amanda is going to cut to 61. Kayla is going to beat her at 61 and she’s going to have two UFC belts. That’s what I want to happen,” the agent said.
Despite planning the challenger's future, Ali Abdelaziz made it clear that he does not underestimate the champion Julianna Pena.
“Of course we have to talk to the UFC and it is obvious that Julianna Pena “She’s very tough. It’s not going to be easy. She’s going to sell high, she’s going to take a lot of damage and she’s still going to be tough. But that’s what I would love for Kayla to do. Then I would like her to go to WWE and be champion there too, why not?” he concluded.
